THE LORRY

Following the previous story, I promised pictures of the lorry in question and the reason for my wife Ruth's initial reaction to the purchase.

First pictures below showing the lorry at The "Novartis" Summer show at Immingham on the Humber Bank. The horses travelled in the trailer, (the reason for buying the lorry as tow truck). We performed a musical drive with the three horses ( 1 Shire, 1 Suffolk Punch and Jupiter) on long rein.
The Lorry with its curtainside body was used as a shop to promote the centre and sell gifts and cards to raise funds.

The reason for Ruth's initial response was that she and I had spent over 12 years of our life previously operating a small fleet of lorries on national distribution, unfortunately when our contract finished we could not sustain the business and it closed and we lost our home too! But she did agree that the small lorry for the Horse Centre did make good sense!
